No change for Cheetahs

Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has kept faith with the same XV that beat the Highlanders for this week's match against the Waratahs.

Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has kept faith with the same starting XV that beat the Highlanders for this week's Super Rugby match against the Waratahs.

The clash in Sydney will be the third one on tour for the South African franchise and will have special significance for scrum-half Sarel Pretorius, who played with the Australian team last year.

Pretorius was a standout for the Cheetahs in last weekend's 36-19 win over the Highlanders. He became the South African franchise's highest try-scorer following his two touchdowns in Dunedin, that took his tally to 17.

And there's no doubt the former Waratah would like to add to that list by scoring a few more against his old team-mates in Sydney.
